During the last few years a sense of powerlessness must have come across those who have taken part in the triumphant exertions. which the British Empire bas made in the present contury, Some spring seems have snapped in the national conscious.

We seem to be the only great nation which does not speak" up for itself, which has lost "con- fidence in its mission, which is fidence in its mission, which is ready to resign. Its hard-won rights.
Gordon and Carlyle.. Mrs. Webster opens her book briefly with the causes that led up to the Great War: Its origins, she says, must be sought at least, as far back as the time of Frederick The defeat of the Great Prussia's ancient rival, Austria, in
1988, and of France, the eternal object of its hatred, in 1570, paved the way for the pan-German scheme of world domination to which datur. ally the British Empire provided the most farmidable obstacle.

on November 18, 1870, with one
from General Gordon in 1832 to Mr. James Purdy, published in the Morning Post on September 1,

So far na England is concerned, she need not, for the next, quarter of a century, be under any apprehen sion of serious difficulties arising with any of her European neigh- bours, but in 1010 or thereabouts. there will have arisen a naval; Power which may prove mightier than she, and should she (Ger many) gain the supremacy, Eng- land will become extinct both ns a land and ses Power, and all her dependencies, including India, will fall into Germany's clutches." You may live to see this: I shall not, but when that time comes, remember my words.
Our Bind Leaders, Who was right. Carlyle or Gen- eral Gordon? Mrs. Webster then goes on to show how after the South African war Lord Roberts, Sir Henry Wilson, Mr. L. J. Moxse and a few others tirelessly though in vain warned their countrymen of Lord the danger of Germany, Roberts in a speech in Manchester (The Times, October 23, 1912) said:
